JICA Backup Cereals, Fruit and Vegetables: Yield is a critical challenge in Cl Yield Low yield as compared to peers¹ across crops • Cereals (42% lower) • Beverages (75% decline in yield over the last decade) • F&V (70% lower) W Land Only 36% of the total agricultural land is used for farming Large pockets of land not cultivated/ developed Food Crops Supply Chain High wastage due to inadequate storage infrastructure • • Average food wastage 1.7x of peers ~10% wastage in Côte d'Ivoire versus 6% in peers1 Key reason is lack of sufficient refrigerated storage facilities Low yield driven by Lack of research, availability and access • to improved seeds • Low fertilizer usage Only 0.011 ton/ha fertilizer used in Côte d'Ivoire vs. 0.15 ton/ ha in peers¹ Limited mechanization <2% of the land is under irrigation • Most of the farming is rain-fed, can increase crop intensity and land cultivated by increasing land under irrigation Post harvest supply chain infrastructure underdeveloped • · Peers at 20x2 tractor penetration versus Côte d'Ivoire Crop intensity is ~ 30% lower than other SSA2 countries · Critical challenge- High cost of transport Inadequate distribution channels Limited availability of information & data Lack of finance 1. Developing Small Farm Nations comprising of 93 nations across Africa, Asia and South America are considered as peers 2. Sub Saharan Africa hp/ha calculated as total hp per 1000 ha of harvested land in 2014. Côte d'Ivoire has 1.13 hp/ha versus peers (small farm, developing nations) at 20.1 Source: FAO, World Bank 112
